Cubs Cactus opener: Spring is in the chair.

I gotta tell ya, I didn't really care about the result at all.But hearing Pat Hughes and Keith Moreland on my little Cubs transistor yesterday?

Cared alot about that.

"Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air!"

Gimme a cold one and allow me to put my feet on the furniture, please, I've been waiting for this.

So Big Z was awesome, and after inning #1 weren't you a little joyfully flabbergasted?Of course, it didn't take long for things to even out.

Garza got a hit, but I'm sure would have rather had a better time on the mound. Coco Crisp (really?) hit one 420 feet off him, For a grand slam.

Colvin makes a couple sloppy errors. I was pretty shocked, but I just now read they're gonna try him out at 1st later this week.Spring's the time to try this stuff.I'd rather they didn't mess with this kid, but it sounds like they have no backup for 1st base besides Baker.

Ahhh, but it's only day one.Nothin' went into any record book.Lets just see what the guys can do and not worry about any final scores.

And it was a fabulous Sunday with melting snow outside and the radio on inside. Spring was in my chair.
